Question

read the excerpt below from the war works hard:
how magnificent the war is!
how eager
and efficient!
early in the morning
it wakes up the sirens
and dispatches ambulances
to various places
swings corpses through the air
rolls stretchers to the wounded
which example from the excerpt best answers part 1?
“various” and “wounded”
“swings corpses” and “rolls stretchers”
“early in the morning”
“how magnificent the war is?”

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A ("various" and "wounded") are just descriptive words, not actions that show the war's "eager and efficient" nature.
• Option B ("swings corpses" and "rolls stretchers") are active verbs that depict the war's actions, aligning with the idea of it being eager and efficient in carrying out its (destructive) work.
• Option C ("Early in the morning") is a time reference, not an action related to the war's efficiency.
• Option D ("How magnificent the war is!") is a statement of admiration, not an action showing efficiency.

Thus, "swings corpses" and "rolls stretchers" best illustrate the war's eager and efficient nature as asked in Part 1 (implied context of the question).

Answer:

B. "swings corpses" and "rolls stretchers"
